Thanks everyone - appreciate the info.

DH has deadly allergy to tree nuts and unfortunately they are all over the ship (desserts, main courses with almonds and pistachio, etc). We have just learned to be VERY careful and prepared with EpiPens and Benadryl).

Anyone who has recently parked for duration of cruise in the Berth 92, 93 parking lot - can you tell me if you pay in advance (seems strange to do that) or upon dusembarkation and departure from the parking lot. We have always paid via credit card at disembarkation, but thought I read recently that there had been a change in this procedure, but can not find it on this board. Thanks in advance.

DH uses a portable concentrator when we cruise. They are pricey but better than the option of not traveling. We don't do flights any more because of the hassle of getting through security and the fact that he doesn't have enough battery power for more than about a 2 hour flight.

Jerome's- great detailed explanation. OP should be very thankful!

Love this - always our plan too. Much more relaxing way to start the cruise.

Unfortunately, like everything else with Princess, it depends on ship and also on the suite Concierge.

We always arrive at Port at least 1 day prior to sailing. Day of embarkation, we sleep in, have a late leisurely breakfast and arrive at ship after vast majority have boarded. No lines, no muss, no fuss. Very relaxing. Great way to start the vacation.

We have been suite passengers for many years now and totally agree that Princess has not provided the amenities we feel should be available to full suite passengers sailing at top dollar. We love Princess but would love to see them step up their game in this area. Special boarding times and areas and private dining, etc. We really enjoy the Concierge on the latest ships, but would love to see that on older ships as well. We are more than willing to pay for the upgrades if and when they are made available.

Yes. We have done that in the past, but the price of spa services is more than purchasing a weekly pass. Was hoping not to have to pay for time we would not utilize.

Has anyone been able to buy a one day pass to the enclave/thermal spa on Discovery. Looks like you can only purchase a weekly pass online, but we are only interested in 1 or 2 days.

We have cruised in full suites 5 or 6 times in the last 2+ years and have never seen a towel animal. Not that it is an issue. Just an observation.

Yes, you can order room service breakfast or go to whichever location is serving the Suite breakfast- they are also open day of departure, but only until 9am I think.

So if you don't use all of the cash deposit, do you get the remaining balance back in cash or do they send you a check?

That is my husband's favorite!!!
